0分）
A
Whether you rely on your bike for transportation or exercise，you’ll enjoy these fun facts on this two-wheeled vehicle．
In 1817，Karl von Drais，a German baron,invented a horseless carriage that would help him get around faster．The two—wheeled，pedalless device moved by pushing your feet against the ground．The machine became known as the"draisine”,and led to the creation of the modern-day bicycle．The term"bicycle”was not introduced until the 1860s，when it was coined in France to describe a new kind of two—wheeler with a mechanical drive．
Orville and Wilbur Wright，the brothers who built the first flying
airplane,operated a small bike repair shop in Dayton，Ohio．They used their workshop to build the 1903Wright Flyer．Fred A．Birchmore，25，circled the globe by bicycle in 1935．The entire trip,through Europe，Asia,and the United States，covered 40，000miles．He pedaled about 25，000miles．The rest was traveled by boat．He wore out seven sets of tires．
In the 1980s,bicycle delivery services developed into an important
industry,especially in cities，where the couriers(快递员） earned a reputation
for their high speed and traffic—weaving skills．
Americans use their bicycles for less than one percent of all urban trips．Europeans bike in cities a lot more often---in Italy 5percent of all trips are on bicycle，30percent in the Netherlands,and 7out of 8Dutch people over age 15have a bike．
The Tour de France is one of the most famous bicycle races in the world．Established in 1903，it is considered to be the biggest test of endurance
out of all sports．Lance Armstrong，an American cyclist，is the only rider to have won 7titles after surviving cancer．
1.The underlined word”coined”in the second paragraph can be replaced by
______ ．
A. bought
B. discovered C。

printed D. created
2.Who made the most important contribution to the bike？ ______
A. Karl von Drais．
B. The Wright brothers
C。

Fred A．Birchmore． D. Lance Armstrong．
3.The couriers in the 1980s in the cities preferred the bike because it was
______ ．
A. beautiful and produced no noise
B. a symbol of fashion and wealth
C。

cheap and could be moved about easily
D。

fast and rarely affected by traffic conditions．
B
The defeat of Lee Sedol,the world's strongest Go (围棋） player，by a Google artificial intelligence （AI) program，looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can．It is not．There are uncountable things that only a human can do，and that no computer seems close to．The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone．The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic．But even the most powerful programs are not human，just as a shovel （铲车）．They have no feelings．What they have is power，but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll．
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent，but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians （火星人)．Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development，and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new
world．It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass （以金钱来衡量的) society in which
everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted．
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is，at the same time，the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity．If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour，it is most productive when labour
is kept unskilled or redefined that way．So much of the work in service
industries is now simplified until it might be automated （自动化)．And robots will never need pensions．AI is slowly reducing skilled work,like some forms of medical diagnosis （诊断)，at the same time,as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training．The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own．
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human—like computers．
4.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol,the author intends to tell us that
______ ．
A. comput ers can completely replace humans in everything
B。

humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C。

the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate
D. AI programs can not compare with humans economically
5.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers will ______ ．
A. improve the quality of human life
B. promote equality at work places
C。

make contributions to human development
D。

widen the gap between the rich and the poor
6.What does"artificial stupidity”in Paragragh 3 mean？ ______
A. Unskilled workers become stupid．
B。

AI discourages skilled work．
C. Computers don't need pensions．
D。

AI is ruining medical training．
7.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence？
______
A. Optimistic．B。

Supportive．C。

Sceptical． D. Cautious．
C
The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives．No matter what decisions we make，good or bad,each one puts us on a new road in the future．Make a bad decision？No problem．Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path．This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within．This is a book that I recommend to anyone waiting to develop a fire within to make changes in their life．It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hindering me from becoming the great man who I am today．Now I am not saying that I am a well—known person in any particular circle．But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen．I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children．And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime．And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in．
Ben Lerer，cofounder and CEO of the Thrillist Media Group，is a good example of this．In an article on the Fast Company website，Lerer talks about this very subject．He says，"I have to make some really tough decisions but finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't going
right,and fix it,instead of just turning a blind eye because it's easier．”Great people make decisions．When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision．It does not get any simpler than that．
8.From Tony Robbins’book Awaken the Giant Within,the writer knew ______ ．
A. making a bad decision is very terrible
B。

making decisions helps us become a great man
C. being afraid to make a bad decision is very natural
D. learning from the bad decision can help make a new choice
9.The underlined word"hindering"can be replaced by ______ ．
A。

stopping B。

stealing C. preserving D. requiring
10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ______
A. A bad decision has a bad effect on people
B。

The best company can admit and correct a bad decision
C. People should learn how to make a good decision
D. Making a decision is much simpler than changing one
11.What could be the best title of the passage？ ______
A. Overcome Your Fears B。

Take Action
C。

Make decisions D. Trust Yourself．
D

详解:
1．去掉out;考查动词，find意为”找到、发现”，是及物动词，后面可以直接跟宾语，find out意为”找出、查明”,多指通过调查、寻问、研究之后"搞清楚、弄明白"．2．many改为much；考查近义词辨析，many修饰可数名词复数形式，much修饰不可数名词，money是不可数名词,故用much．
3．know改为knew；考查动词的时态，本文讲述的过去发生的事情，故用一般过去
式．
4．an改为the；考查冠词，此处用定冠词the特指上文提到的the bag 的主人．5．touch 后面加with；考查介词，keep in touch with 是固定短语，意为”与…保持
联系”．
6．after改为before；考查介词，not long before意为”不久",not long after意为”不久以后"，分析句意为"不久失主就到了”，故用before．
7．exciting改为excited；考查分词作形容词，现在分词做形容词修饰物，过去分词做形容词修饰人,此处主语是the owner，故用过去分词形式．
8．and改为but；考查连词，结合上下文分析可知前后为转折关系,故用but．
9．felt改为feeling;考查分词作状语，主语I与动词feel是主谓关系,故用现在分词形式伴随状语．
10．pride改为proud;考查形容词，此处用形容词形式与happy并列做feel的表语．44。

Opinions are divided on this topic．
Some think we should try to help others when they are in trouble．Helping others is a virtue，and it will make our society more harmonious．Besides,to some extent，helping others is helping oneself．We may come across some
trouble and need others'help some day．If everyone turns a blind eye to our trouble and turns a deaf ear to our appeal for aid just because we might do harm to them，it’s hard to imagine what our world will be like．
However,others are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us trouble or even put us in danger．Sometimes we are just misunderstood and thus have to pay the cost of kindness．

完型填空题的命题趋势
解题步骤:
1．通读全文,理解大意．重视首句信息,跳过空格，浏览全文,从整体上感知全文，理解文章大意,这是解题的基础．
2．瞻前顾后，避难就易．在理解文章大意的情况下,结合各选项的意义和用法,遵循先易后难的原则，先解决那些自己有把握的问题．对少数难题，暂时跳过，或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示，或许一个在前面不能解答的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗．
3．复读全文,解决残敌．借助已经补全的空格，对全文有了更清楚的理解,可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题．
4．再次复读，弥补疏漏，全部做好后，务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容，确保全文文意连贯．
完形填空的特点和技巧：
1．完形填空的特点：
（1）只考以下四类词——名词、动词（包括短语动词）、形容词和副词．
（2）首句不设空:有助于了解或推测全文的大意．
（3）同一小题的四个选项都是同一词类，且为同一语法形式．
2．解答完形填空的技巧：
（1）词语之间的习惯搭配，或固定搭配；
(2）结合生活，结合生活常识，善于观察生活，积累生活常识，就能够利用常识去做恰当的选择．
（3）上下文对照，解完型填空题时,单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要阅读下句或者若干句才能明白．所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词．因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力,捕捉关键词．例如第60题．照应文章开篇，I knew that she would be crying我知道她会哭．但是相反，她神采奕奕地进了学校,并没有哭．故选B．
（4）词语或词义复现．词汇复现往往会使语篇中的句子相互衔接得更紧密．利用词语的复现,对解题很有帮助；
